Dr. Weinfeld's professional meticulous manner was most reassuring. Her approach was comforting, as she explained what the procedure entailed, and was always concerned that I was comfortable. All in all, a wonderfully pleasant visit. The best dermatologist I ever visited.

I came in for a spot on my lip I was concerned about and was worried it could be cancerous. Dr. Goodkin took a biopsy of it and numbed it so I didn't feel it and it was a better experience than I thought. I felt very comfortable. She also checked other areas just to make sure which made me feel better.

I had skin tags removed.I could feel them and was constantly touching them. Now that they are gone I can honestly say it was the best $200 I've spent!

At Dermatology and Skin Care Associates, we understand that any procedure can be unsettling, so our staff focuses on helping our patients feel comfortable throughout their visit. Our staff supports patients with basic yet invaluable hand-holding, and soothing music is available if needed. Parents can bring music or DVD players to help children relax.

All surgical speciments are sent to nationally renowned dermatopathologists. Results are typically available within a few days, and we always notify patients of all results.

Our skilled physicians perform:

Skin cancer surgery: Most skin cancers can be removed in our office under local �anesthesia in 30 minutes or less. In most cases, patients can return to most normal activities the same day.

Mole removal, cyst removal, and skin biopsies: Most moles and cysts can be removed under local anesthesia in fewer than 10-15 minutes. In most cases, patients can resume most normal activities the same day. Our physicians guide our patients through any required follow up and provide expert advice on treatment.

Ear piercing: Our physicians use single-use, hypoallergenic piercing kits to minimize risk of infection and allergies. Hypoallergenic gold-colored, silver-colored and simulated-diamond earrings are available. We use topical numbing cream, which is both comforting and calming, and consult with you to set the exact position for ear piercing to achieve the best aesthetic result.

NOTE: If more extensive surgical procedures are required such as Mohs surgery, sentinel lymph node
biopsy, or plastic surgery, we refer patients to top specialists in Wellesley and downtown Boston. We work closely with the patients and physicians throughout the referral and treatment process, and we remain available for any questions or concerns that may arise.
